This madman must be stopped by any legal means!

The main reason UK energy prices are so high is not net zero but the fact the price of gas still sets the price of electricity. Breaking that link should be the priority.

Yep- and wind is already pushing more expensive gas plants off the grid. Prices would have been 1/3 higher in 2024 without wind eciu.net/analysis/rep...

People and large mammals are known to coppice hazel etc, but they're not essential to the process. Hazel can self-coppice in 2 ways: first, the big old stems simply fall over, and new growth emerges to replace them. 1/2

The enthusiasm of most billionaire media outlets in the US and UK for Trump’s illegal assault on Iran is another reminder of how deranged, perverse and frankly psychopathic these organisations are.

Far too many people have fallen for Starmer's pretence that the UK isn't directly involved. It wasn't true on Monday and it's not true now. We need mass demonstrations and direct action against the war and against UK involvement, now. We must demand that our govt call for an end to the bombing.

Israel bombed an entire residential neighborhood in Beirut, violated Security Council resolution SCR 1701, the ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences. This is another war crime and the International Criminal Court remains silent.

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down. Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book. (And would much appreciate a RT please)

Our oldest Monks Wood Marsh Tit has survived his 11th winter, and is singing again on his territory, 40 m from where he was colour-ringed in 2015. He's been widowed again so is advertising for a new female. He's probably in the top 5 oldest Marsh Tits recorded in Britain. #ukbirding #ornithology

Geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East once again shows that reliance on volatile oil and gas exposes economies to price shocks. Renewables, electrification and storage offer more stable long term energy costs and stronger energy security.

So so close to 100,000 signatures to end the Guga hunt! Please keep signing: petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE...

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war. Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

These warnings about food security are happening almost weekly now But does anyone think the government is taking a blind bit of notice The UKs 3 worst harvests have been in the last 5 years By 2050, the number of calories per head globally could be halved www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

I can sort of understand people treating climate breakdown as a distant, peripheral issue when they thought it was just a future threat to polar bears and Pacific Islands But we're seeing these sorts of warnings all the time now, and little seems to have changed

We reap what we sow!

Seems like there are plenty of Common Scoters turning up on inland water bodies today! Maybe there will be one on your patch? Good luck to all patch birders over the weekend, chance of an early Hirundine, Wheatear or Little Ringed Plover too! #PWC2026

Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.

Pfft! Who needs to travel to see a Black Grouse lek when you can squint at local Rooks strutting their stuff? (String anything, me. 😇) 1/2

I’m not a fan of politicians trying to make people angry for votes by claiming there actually IS a “war on cars” (there isn’t — if anything there’s been a war on every OTHER way of getting around since the 1960s). A politician just made the claim on LinkedIn. Here’s the reply I posted. #UrbanTruth

In 2025, broadcast TV climate coverage plummeted for the 3rd year in a row. 2022: 23 hours 2023: 17 hours - 📉25% 2024: 12 hours, 51 minutes - 📉25% 2025: 8 hours, 25 minutes - 📉35% But hey, it's not like 2023, 2024, & 2025 were the 3 hottest years in recorded history by a lot. Nothing to see here!

The third para here is also evidence of this.

I'm not suggesting this is an open secret within the climate science community, but it's remarkable how little impact this sort of research is generating. Because if the rate of warming really has *doubled* then you can kiss goodbye to 2°C. www.carbonbrief.org/pace-of-glob...

What did we imagine, the people who thought it was OK to bomb Hospitals and schools in Gaza would suddenly magically change their MO?

Hope is rising across East Anglia. Campaigners from Herts to Norfolk are back on the streets with Brexitometers, marches and a renewed push to move Britain closer to the EU...and it's happening across the country. The 10-year anniversary could be a turning point. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

6. But again and again, legislators seem determined to make idiots of themselves on behalf of powerful industries. They are meant to represent our interests, not those of the lobbyists, but that message seems to have got lost. Vote for those who represent the people, not the money. 6/6

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

So let's hurry up and rename hotdogs, kidney beans, peanut butter, shepherd's pie, fish fingers, chocolate eggs, lady fingers, oyster mushrooms, cream crackers, etc etc! bsky.app/profile/geor...

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

One thing I'm watching for in the wake of the war in Iran: what happens to the Asiatic cheetah. This subspecies now only lives in Iran, with a population of just a few dozen, and wildlife never fares well in the wake of war and destabilization. 🌏🧪

The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A reminder that there are young people in the UK who have been held in prison for up to two years without conviction for allegedly dismantling weapons of genocide. The government has been proven wrong on all accusations against them so far. Meanwhile: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Climate change is increasingly implicated in the changing ranges & declines / spread of many species. Are we sometimes reticent to consider it or discuss it as the implications are huge & far reaching - and this isn’t helpful for conservation orgs who want a positive angle? #lowcarbonbirding

We tax electricity. We tax gas. We tax train tickets. Jet fuel though? Not really. The climate incentives are… interesting. #FlightFree
#ClimateCrisis

This should make for a thoroughly depressing read and show the major impact that climate change has had - and will continue to have - on our avifauna, until we stop fossil fuels.

For many, many years we’ve seen many species decline, and we’ve considered many causes before realising a warming climate is contributing significantly. 🤷‍♂️🙄

I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump. There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists. STATEMENT: www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Incredibly normal to be banging on the door of the Quakers repeatedly but allowing literal organisations such as Britain first to stalk homes of refugees and domestic violence survivors every weekend. Totally normal is this government. Not worried at all.

Israeli forces launching massive airstrikes in southern Beirut only hours after issuing an evacuation order for the over 500,000 people living there displays an utter disregard for civilian lives. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

People see conservation as an exciting, romantic field to work in But it's a tough life watching the places you love, study and fight for being destroyed

"Forcibly displaced Lebanese are now gathering along the sea; they have nowhere to go; Israel has announced its intent to make conditions that render civilian life unsustainable. A second genocide. Now in Lebanon."(Philip Proudfoot on X) #Israel #Lebanon

... and with Israel using AI guided missiles to attack Iran, just like they did in Gaza, it could be more like another genocide than just an another illegal war meme via Human Reform Politics

And here's the clip, thanks to James: bsky.app/profile/jame...

If we want a stable, secure, peaceful world, our governments should support democracy and self-determination everywhere, whether or not they agree with what the people want. Instead, for centuries, they have attacked democracy and self-rule, and we all live with the consequences.

For anyone who would like the clip (including George).
